Well I came in here thinking a tomato contest would be a bit of fun, but it turns out that it's all a load of ego driven nonsense by TGG again.  A great gardener in my opinion is not someone who can grow the biggest tomato, but someone who makes mistakes, learns from them and imparts their knowledge to help others to learn, as most of the members here do.  I've learned so much from so many different people on here and no doubt I have a lot left to learn.  Life is difficult enough without all this animosity.  So I've said it before TGG and I'll say it again, if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all.
What I lack in ability and experience, I make up for in sheer enthusiasm!!!

Surely the best tomato of all isn't the biggest, or the reddest, but the sweetest, most tomato-ey of all.  The one that you sink your teeth into and get swept away in an instant to a mediterranean taverna, with the warm sun on your neck and the blue sea lapping at your toes...... ;D

Sorry TGG but unless you can beat this one I grew for the kids to play on last year,then its a "No contest"

You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friends nose

In the interests of fair competition will our produce have to be dope tested?  If not the veg, then will the grower?  looks like I've failed at the first hurdle and my misses says I'm one of the biggest dopes she knows!! ;)
Getting there - just rather slowly!!

I don't expect to be able to compete with my tomatoes but would be interested to see the results of this competition.

Some strange replies to this post?

How about a melon contest.

My wife's got some beauties. Silicon they may be, but she could poke your eye out with them.

Howzabout you all take a Walk on the Wild Side & look at Robbo's post in Watershed? Up to you, natch, but.....g'won, just do it - you know you want to :D

And we LOVE deep discussions bout  Monstrous Melons & Titivating Tomatoes there ::)

When does TGG find time to tend his allotment and grow all this fantastic veg?He seems to spend most of his waking hours online upsetting people. I am very new to this site. Only joined just after Christmas and so far TGG has managed to make me very wary of joining in. It didn't take him long to start another thread that has had us all contributing to after his other one was transferred to watershed. Such a pity that he doesn't view this tremendous site the same way as most. That is, a mine of useful information on growing and some truly great people. Sorry if I seem to be very critical but that is just how I have found it. I am going to try and ignore his posts and just read those from real great gardeners.
